And that’s the rub. The primary goal of a healthcare organization is to provide excellent care to its patients. There are any number of jobs that go into that, but when organizations like Dartmouth-Hitchcock are having difficulty filling clinical positions—and they are far from alone—should other positions be outsourced instead?
I’ve written pretty extensively about the benefits of outsourcing, and of course, our company is founded on that principle. Today, when so many hospitals are struggling to fill their clinical positions, it makes sense for them to turn to outsourcing to alleviate labor pressures.
We think it is always a good argument to do outsourcing in the right, customer-centric way. It alleviates labor pressures while taking care of employees and allowing the team to focus on what they do best.
